Background
Magnetic Resonance Imaging/Angiography, (MRI/MRA), is an innovative diagnostic tool for virtually every clinical speciality. Unlike CT or X-ray angiography, no ionizing radiation or iodine contrast agents are necessary. As a consequence, there has been a great increase in the number of MR procedures.The MR scanner market is growing rapidly with a tendency towards using higher static magnetic field strengths. MRI is considered as one of the safest non-invasive imaging modalities. However, it is based on strong static magnetic and switched gradient magnetic fields as well as on radio frequency (RF) fields.
MR application can lead to unintended interactions with medical implants, instruments and other medical devices and items, causing safety and diagnostic problems.
Among the products at issue are:
vascular implants (e.g. stents, clips, coils, valves),
orthopedic implants and devices (e.g. hip prostheses, nails, wires, fixation systems),
active implants (e.g. pacemakers, neurostimulators, infusion pumps, pressure sensors)
surgical/interventional instruments (e.g. scissors, guidewires, manipulators),
medical electrical devices (e.g. pulse oximeters, anaesthesia and monitoring equipment, injectors, robotic systems)
and all ancillary equipment used with or in close proximity to an MR system.
